Hi All,
The contemporary literary theories have strangulated or asphyxiated 'literariness' from the literary texts; they have subjected literariness (aesthetic pleasure) to a thing of/for experiment. The consequent question that arises is that, then, why should we use literary theories for the understanding of a literary text?
We would appreciate your views on this query.................

I think a reader can get perfect views or ideas regarding the particular text in which any of the literary theories is applied.It is depended upon an individual how, why and which theory can be applied to the particular text after reading it.
Very good Nishant, but my query is that is it necessary to "get perfect views or ideas regarding the particular text" we should employ literary theory?
Yes.
After applying the literary theory to the work,
at some extent it will be accessible for the readers.
"Application" mode of theory is a reductionist view, theory as discipline has self-sufficient significance i.e., developing critical-creative thinking!!!!!!!!!
